than I ever would have imagined.
I want to see him and touch him. I want to hear from him more often, have longer conversations. I really got spoiled a couple of weeks ago.
But - I know what his life is like. It's quite full. If he doesn't have much time - that isn't because I...

For about two and a half years I've tried so hard to keep up the charade of there being nothing there outside of me and my boyfriend of a year less than I've loved this guy. I care deeply for my boyfriend. When he and I are together I hardly think about anything other than him...

Although started as an innocent way to explore my sexuality. Has now become a very important part of my life. This man has become more than just my online lover. I adore him. I look forward to his phone calls. Texts, emails. Howeve, he chooses to reach me. I shouldn't feel this...

He isn't mine, he was for such a long time and in my mind of mind's he is. I have not felt that feeling of pure happiness since we went out separate ways.
I shouldn't love him because he's is someone elses. We've hurt her in the past and I would never ever want to do it again...

even funny. He sends me a one-line PM and I'm ecstatic. He adds a woman to his circle and I'm worried that he's losing interest in me.
If only the roller coaster could stop and we could do something for real. If I could just have a fair chance....
I have a lot to offer a man...

nearly a year ago. At first, he was all over me (metaphorically) - he had a pretty big crush, but I was sure it would be temporary. I figured he was out of my league - he's attractive, intelligent, funny and popular.
He persisted (on and off) - and finally, I succumbed. He...

after all this time. After he has been through a pattern of encouraging me, then disappearing, at least 3 times in the past year. After two failed attempts to meet.
I still want him - but I will not let that fact ruin my life. I will not make major life decisions based on him...

"love" might be putting it a bit strongly. But there's no group called "I'm Not In Love But I Could Love This Person."
He finally resurfaced and we had a really good talk. No, we haven't made any plans to do anything. We talked about feelings and painful things that have...

I am falling hard for a coworker but I’m married with two children. I can’t say that I love my wife and I’m not sure I did when I married her. Marrying her just felt like the comfortable thing to do. We had been together for so long, since we were teenagers. If we didn...

please each other. People are like that. We'll get irritated, annoyed, get hurt feelings, get outright angry. But grown-up people with reasonable expectations learn to deal with those things, and continue on as good as ever. FWIW, I still love him, miss him, and want him.
But...

and im 13
Here is situation.Girls in my school hate me.I dont know why but they hate me. anyway I met one boy he is 13 too we played and kidding and do other stuff and after three moths of hanging outwith him he sad to me that he have interest for boys(bicurious) it was such...

You can't always control who you fall in love with. If I could control who I fell for I would definitely not have chosen to fall in love with someone's else's husband. It just happened. He was just so easy to love. We met here on ep. We were both trapped in troubled marriages...

Today my H said something that really hurt me.
I'm not happy. My H isn't happy. The man I want isn't happy. I bet his W isn't happy, either.
How can anybody say that this is the way life is supposed to be ? I'm beginning to hope I die soon. I don't think I can stand another 4...

That makes me happy. Not as happy as a little conversation would, though. That would take, what - 10 minutes?
I still want to meet him IRL....and at the same time, I'm still not putting my life on hold for him. When I was younger, I did that for a couple of men and I really...

I want to kiss him, be in his arms, hear his voice, inhale his scent.
Why did the most attractive man on the planet have to come with this set of circumstances ? (Neither of us is free, and we live just far enough apart to make it a bit difficult to meet.)
So close and yet...

you have kids, and I respect that. I agree with your desire to be a decent dad for them. I wouldn't have you any other way. Your basic decency and good treatment of other people in general is one of the things I love about you.
So, it might be years before you're really "free...

Like I said before, I am discovering reserves of patience and consideration that I didn't know I was capable of. Things may not move as fast as I'd like. Worst case scenario, things might not move any further at all. That wouldn't be the end of the world - but it would be a loss...

We both have loved each other for years. I don't know what to do, we have never tried dating because we both have a bad track record. I would rather never be with him than risk hurting him.
The problem is that I am in a serious relationship, and I feel like I am misleading my...

I'm going to do what's good for me and my life - and take advantage of any good opportunities that come my way.
If I find myself feeling pain around him, I will take good care of myself in healthy ways.
But I still think of him whenever I feel aroused - whenever I would like...

All of it seems unreal. He's 16. I'm 13. He lives in England. I live in Canada. Our time zones are 4 hours apart. We live 3000 miles away from each other. There is an ocean between us. I can't think of one thing to make it harder. Today, he asked me to be his girlfriend. And I...

can't I, just ONE damn time in my life, have the man I want?
Not the nice guy that I date for awhile because he's the best of a bad lot.
Not the kind guy who comforts me when I'm still hurting from someone else.
Not the guy who has every item on some imaginary checklist, but...

I love him becauseI of the way he smiles. And
the way he brightens my day when he talk to me. How comfortable he makes me feel even when I'm super awkward. The way he doesn't care about what ****** up things I've done or happened to me in the past. The way he smells so freaking...

but not putting my life on hold, and not going to do anything stupid.
For now, I'm letting it go - but not giving up. I have other things in my life that deserve my attention. Like I've said before I'll even date once my marriage is finally over.
But I don't think anybody...

When I was 10 years old I was not into having crushes and boyfriends. One day I was at the park with my family and friends having a bbq. When my mom's friend calls her son on the phone and tells him to come to the park. I was helping my friend build a paper doll house when all of...

It's been weeks of no contact with my mistress and I'm hurting so bad on the inside. After having multiple affairs over the last few years, I wound up with a single woman 10yrs my junior that was everything I ever fantasies about. I never had any idea I could fall this way for...

but i still love him slightly, i left him nearly a year ago and went into depression, and now taking anti depressants, he just messaged me telling me that he loves me and everything and that makes feelings come back for him and it makes me so sad. He also sent a picture of a...

My body has certain needs. I'm feeling very much "in need" this evening. I used a toy to take care of myself, but I still want more. There is no toy in the world as good as a real live person. Especially the one you want. I want his hands and his mouth all over me. I want to sit...

will I?
Yes. Until and unless a man I really want makes a commitment to me - I will not tie myself down or make promises.
My brain says, "Date other people - keep your options open until HE commits to you."
So I'll listen to my head.
But I will also listen to my heart. Which...

There are so many things that aren't right with my secret obsession. My crush, the person I love so much, it kills me to be away from her. First off, it's a she, I'm a she. We're both girls. Secondly, she is my big sister. Even though I am adopted, and have no blood relation, we...

row now. It's not a real conversation - but better than nothing, I suppose.
People probably think I'm crazy. But yanno - I don't care. I know I want at least a fair chance with this guy. I'm prepared to hang in there for quite a long time.
BUT - I'm not letting it ruin the...
